Summary: Peatlands are important in storing soil carbon for long periods of time. This study focused on assessing the CO2 balances of a temperate peatland and the factors affecting these fluxes. The peatland was found to be a CO2 sink, but with extreme variations in different years. Seasonal data showed stronger correlations with biophysical variables than annual fluxes. Additionally, warmer spring and hotter summer temperatures were found to have different impacts on net ecosystem production. The study suggests that global warming negatively affects CO2 balances in temperate peatlands.

Summary: In this study, the long-term changes in forest NEP resistance and NEP recovery in response to extreme atmospheric dryness were quantified using data from 60 forest sites across the world. The results showed that forest types, LAI, and local VPD conditions explained over 50% of variance in both NEP resistance and NEP recovery, with drier sites showing higher NEP resistance and NEP recovery.

Summary: The timing and magnitude of grassland responses to drought within a growing season remain unresolved. This study used remote sensing data and weather data to investigate the impacts of drought on grasslands in the western US Great Plains biome. The results showed that grassland carbon uptake was reduced during drought, with larger reductions in the warmer and more southern regions. Increased summer vapor pressure deficit was strongly linked to reductions in vegetation greenness during drought.

Summary: This study investigates the variability of methane fluxes in a temperate mid-altitude Sphagnum-dominated peatland. The results show that water table and temperature variations at the seasonal and interannual scale have a significant impact on methane flux. The diurnal patterns indicate higher methane flux at night and lower flux at midday, with the influence of photosynthesis and physical parameters. This study emphasizes the importance of considering diurnal variations and vegetation effects before upscaling methane flux to longer time scales.

Summary: This study examines the impact of heat and drought events on carbon sequestration in different-aged eastern white pine forests in Ontario, Canada. The results show that air temperature is the main controlling factor of carbon sequestration in these forests, and drought has a smaller effect. However, the simultaneous occurrence of heat and drought events during the early growing seasons or consecutive years has a significant negative impact on annual carbon sequestration.

Summary: Wetlands, particularly peatlands, are significant sources of methane emissions. This study presents a reliable method to upscale methane fluxes from small-scale observations to large-scale estimates using vegetation mapping. The proposed methodology was successfully tested in three peatlands in Ireland. Overall, this easy to implement approach can be applied across different land types to evaluate the impact of peatland rehabilitation on methane emissions.

Summary: In a rice-wheat cropping system in the north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains, rice grown under anaerobic conditions followed by spring wheat under aerobic conditions showed that wheat had a higher CO2 uptake rate compared to rice. The net ecosystem exchange (NEE) was also different between the two crops, with wheat having a lower net uptake of CO2.

Summary: Rice paddy fields are significant anthropogenic sources of methane, but the ecosystem methane budget and controls in these fields are still unclear. Results show that a wheat-rice rotation agroecosystem acts as a large net carbon sink, except for one year with high rice seeding density. Daily methane fluxes are significantly correlated to gross ecosystem productivity, with parameters shifting between rice growth stages.

Summary: This study investigated the associations among ecosystem productivity, phenological metrics, and climate factors in a maize cropland in Northeast China. The results showed that temperature had a significant impact on carbon uptake period and cumulative net ecosystem productivity, ultimately leading to a decrease in productivity with increasing temperature. Additionally, precipitation in summer and autumn also influenced the maximum daily net ecosystem productivity.

While CO2 production was similar at both sites when the soil was moist, BD site had significantly higher CO2 emissions during dry periods compared to SD site.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of the 2018 heatwave on the carbon exchange of different forest types and a clear-cut area in Europe. The results showed that the carbon exchange varied among forest types, with coniferous forests being the most resistant and mixed forests being the most affected. These findings are important for understanding the effects of global climate change on ecosystems.

Summary: Investigating the response of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) to phenological variation for crop ecosystems is important for understanding the impact of climate change on agriculture. However, the controlling mechanisms for rotation cropland ecosystems have not been well understood. This study used a 16-year flux observation to explore the potential of carbon flux phenology (CFP) and abiotic factors in interpreting the interannual variability (IAV) of NEP. The results showed that NEP was significantly controlled by different factors in wheat and maize seasons, and the carbon budgets varied depending on the season.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of precipitation on carbon exchange in grassland ecosystems and finds that the grassland ecosystem in the Badain Jaran Desert acts as a carbon sink during the growing season. The study shows that the carbon sequestration capacity of the grassland ecosystem is stronger with higher total precipitation. The intensity, frequency, and timing of precipitation significantly affect carbon fluxes, with larger precipitation events leading to delayed high assimilation and greater carbon flux pulses. The timing and frequency of precipitation events have a greater impact on carbon exchange than total precipitation. Droughts cause grasslands to shift from carbon sinks to carbon sources.

Summary: The study found that GPP estimation models based on Sentinel-2 and MODIS data are generally consistent and accurate at the Nordic regional scale. However, using higher spatial-resolution Sentinel-2 data did not improve model accuracy. Further analyses and tests are needed for improved GPP estimations from Sentinel-2 satellite data.

Summary: This study investigates the variations of annual net ecosystem production (NEP) in a managed boreal forest landscape in northern Sweden using extensive biometric and chamber-based carbon flux data. The results highlight the role of net primary production in regulating the spatio-temporal variations of NEP in the managed boreal forest landscape. Additionally, divergent successional patterns of NEP were observed in the managed forests compared to naturally regenerating boreal forests.

Summary: Nitrogen fertilization increases biomass and soil organic carbon accumulation in boreal pine forests, but the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. This study measured various component fluxes in Scots pine sites with and without N fertilization, and compared them to ecosystem fluxes measured by eddy covariance. The results showed that N fertilization increased most component fluxes, especially SOC accumulation, while fine-root, mycorrhiza, and exudate production decreased. The methods agreed in their estimates of gross primary production (GPP), but disagreed on net ecosystem production (NEP), highlighting the need for further research in simple forest ecosystems.
